Create a backup device
Before you can back up the database, you need to create a backup device. A backup device, a place to
store the backup, can be a file on your hard disc or network drive, or a tape.
We advise you to create a backup device on a different hard disc than the one that contains the database.
If you do not do this, you run the risk of losing both your database and your backup copy if your computer
crashes.
1. Click Backup database.
2. Click Add device. The Backup device dialog box appears.
3. Enter the name of the backup device.
4. Select the device type.
If you select... Then...
Disc Select the location where the backup is created and enter a filename. When you
select a network drive, make sure you have the proper permissions to access the
backup directory and file.
Tape Select the tape and enter a filename. Make sure that the tape drive is connected to
the computer that runs SQL server.
Make a manual backup
The simplest way to create a backup is to create one manually. You can do this anytime you want; end
users do not have to log out.
